or maybe some other terminology would be better? lots of people get confused when you ask them to choose an instance, sometimes I think even the word “proxy”, “host”, or “hub” is simpler

the specific terms aren’t my point, just a discussion to see if we can come up with a better name

    some people might understand what a proxy is but many won’t. if i turn off my nerd brain, proxy makes me think of “proxy war”. knowing about the concept of a proxy war, calling something a proxy, it is just confusing.
